The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 384 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
" You.. " Prime Minister Fu was choked, his tongue a little hard for him to speak.
Again, Sima Fei again attacked Prime Minister Fu with his sharp mouth.
" I know Xiquan is the daughter of your prime minister Fu and in the eyes of a father, his daughter is the best. Even so, you still have to be able to see the facts and not lie to yourself. You must also know clearly, between your daughter and me who is the best. But you're still dodging and lying to yourself. " Confidently, A Fei again praised himself.
He continued, "if your thinking continues like that, I fear for a long time you will have delusions, Prime Minister Fu. So come back to being aware and accept the reality. "
Hearing that, Prime Minister Fu was inflamed, almost vomiting blood from anger. His anger had really reached his head. His face had already turned a dead red until A Fei could see smoke billowing over the middle-aged man's head.
" Stop arguing. " King wei mediates. " Prime Minister Fu, what the Crown Princess said was not wrong. We have to investigate before we decide guilt. "
Still with his emotions on the verge of exploding, the prime minister bowed with both hands fused together. " Thank you for your noble wisdom. I hope to give justice to my daughter. " Said as he glanced at A Fei's hatred.
" I know. Now back. I'll tell you the results soon. "
After the departure of the Prime Minister. Finally King Wei could breathe a little sigh of relief. There are only three people left there.
King wei looked at his son with disappointed eyes. " I know you can definitely guess what really happened, not so crown prince. This is what I'm worried about if you put that woman in the palace. Despite the influence of the Fu family, their ambitions were much more dangerous. Do not let because of your helplessness this kingdom will change surname to Fu. "
Shame, anger, disappointment mixed into one. This was what Li Chenlan felt. He felt himself as if he was being stripped naked so as to lift his face was not able. He hated when A Fei saw his current situation.
" Your Majesty, forgive me for interrupting. I don't think it's entirely the prince's fault. I also contribute to this. If only I hadn't given him a chance to act. This won't happen either. Please blame me too. "
Both King Wei and Li Chenlan now looked at A Fei with different eyes. Especially Li Chenlan who was looking at the wife with a feeling of disbelief. There was a strange rumble on his chest. Something tickled that resulted in his chest continuing to pound.
' My heart must be troubled after receiving the King's father's tantrum. ' In his heart he continues to curse his internal organs.
King Wei then asked the two of them to return and for A Fei in the meantime he had to wait at the crown princess' palace during the investigation.
" I'm not gonna say thank you for what you did earlier. I didn't tell you to speak for me in front of the King's father. So don't expect me to thank you. " Said Li Chenlan suddenly as the two were already outside.
" I don't need your gratitude. What I did has nothing to do with you. It was only my responsibility, for letting that woman get the chance to take me down. So don't be too big of a head. It will be heavy for you to look up if your head is too big. " A Fei passed past Li Chenlan just like that, ignoring the man who kept calling her and the murmurs were unclear.
" Daughter, the prince keeps calling you. " Xiao Er turned a glance at Li Chenlan who looked annoyed at being ignored by A Fei.
" Just leave it. The man was too shameless and a true loser. "
Upon arriving at his palace, A Fei was shocked by the sight that Xiao San was being forcefully carried by the palace guards.
" What are you guys doing. " Squeak A Fei ran towards Xiao San.
" I'm sorry princess, we have to bring this waiter. We searched and found the poison in his room. The same poison used to abort Consort Fu's content. " Obviously one of the bodyguards.
" Daughter, this is all slander. I really didn't do it. " Xiao San cried in denial of what they were accusing.
" I know. I trust you. "
" Crown Princess, please don't block us. We only perform duties under the Emperor's orders. "
" It's bullshit. Even the Emperor has just given an order of inquiry as to how it is possible for you to already be here and arrest my servant. Who actually told you to. " Hardik A Fei's.
" As we said princess, we are only carrying out the duties of His Majesty the King. " After speaking, he gave orders to the other bodyguards. " Hurry, you take him to the interrogation room. "
" No, no I'm innocent. Untie me. " Xiao San continues to thrash. But the guards easily dragged Xiao San along.
A Fei ran towards them. He knew there was nothing he could do at the moment. Arguing will also only end in vain.
At a time like this, her status as a crown princess was completely useless.
" Xiao San, you calm down. I'll definitely get you out. I'll look for evidence and release you. "
" Thank you princess. " Haru Xiao San's.
Then A Fei turned to look at the guards. " Don't touch or hurt her. If he gets hurt, I'll make you regret it. Remember, I am not only your Crown Princess, I am also still the princess of the Jin Empire. Even if the prime minister is behind you, it's not hard for me to get rid of him. "
The bodyguards who before looked confident were shocked by A Fei's threat. But they again thought that there was no way the Jin Empire would get rid of their prime minister just for a servant.
A Fei looked at the back of Xiao San who was away with a feeling of guilt. It seems clear that the girl has resigned not struggling like before.
" Daughter how is this? what we should do now. " The usually calm Xiao Er also looked panicked.
Truly, right now A Fei could not even think clearly. Kalut, because it was actually very difficult to prove that Xiao San was innocent. Moreover, with the involvement of the Prime Minister, it is certainly getting more difficult and almost impossible.
" I will meet with His Majesty the king once more. "
There was only one thing he could do to save Xiao San.
*********
Two days passed quickly. A Fei still could not find any clue how the poison was in Xiao San's room. All the servants had also been examined until there was one possibility that A Fei thought, one of the officers who inserted the poison while searching his palace.
He then asked for a list of officers who conducted the search that day, then found out which officer had checked Xiao San's room and also found the poison.
Quickly A Fei knew the identity and background of the officer even anyone he came into contact with and sure enough, the officer was known to have had transactions with the assistant prime minister.
A Fei immediately went to see the King, he had to hand over the evidence. But halfway through, he met Li Chenlan. The man with the status of her husband suddenly blocked and grabbed A Fei's arm.
" Detach! " A Fei tried to jerk his arm but Li Chenlan's grip was stronger.
" no. Hear me. There's something we need to talk about. " Chuckle Li Chenlan had no intention of letting go of the woman.
" What? what do you want to talk about? don't you remember what you said back then. When I asked for your help to free Xiao San. You didn't care and just refused even though I was begging you back then. But you're asking me to let him take the punishment that wasn't really his fault. "
" You're a real coward. Maybe to you he is just a servant, but to me Xiao San is one of my closest people. He's my family. "
" Now, let me go. I must meet His Majesty the King. " A Fei jerked his arm even harder until Li Chenlan's grip finally slipped.
Before A Fei took a step further, Li Chenlan spoke again.
" Don't fight prime minister Fu. You don't know how big it's gonna be. Even my father can't do much. I don't want anything to happen to you. "
" really? " A Fei turned her head then walked over, smiling faintly. " But I don't care. Sooner or later he will definitely come back to attack me because what he really hopes to disappear is me. So touching it or not makes no difference at all. "
A Fei left behind Li Chenlan who was staring at his wife's back. There was a feeling of tightness as the woman's gaze now turned cold. Since the arrest, A Fei and Li Chenlan's relationship seemed to freeze.
No more fighting between the two. If A Fei still considered Li Chenlan's existence before, but this time the woman really did not care. Several times the man tried to provoke a quarrel but an indifferent attitude that Li Chenlan had obtained.
" Damn it! " one hand scooped a frustrated face.
' How could I tell him that his servant had already died before I even said it A Fei was already staring at me with hatred. '
Li Chenlan could not imagine how his wife would react if she knew the news.
Angry, because nothing fits his plan. He himself did not expect that the Prime Minister would ask them to torture the servant until he eventually lost his life.
If so, who can he blame?
Li Chenlan finally decided to go see Xiquan. His arrival soon received a warm welcome from the woman who smiled widely at him.
" Your Majesty, I miss you so much. These two days you didn't come at all and it made my heart ache. Do you know, Your Highness, I'm so lonely, I need you especially after I lost our son. " It was so sweet that the woman's words made Li Chenlan almost melt.
' If you're lonely, then why would you kill your own child. ' Inner Li Chenlan growled.
For a man who is very affectionate and respectful to his mother, of course Xiquan's actions have greatly crossed his bottom line. That's why he refused to meet her.
The man let go of Xiquan's embrace and turned to look at him.
No matter what he was thinking, there was suddenly such a great desire from within to strangle Xiquan's neck. It was as if the devil had just whispered evil intentions in his ears.
" a-what. ya-ng. " Xiquan thrashed at Li Chenlan's hand, the man's big hand strangling him was extremely strong. The woman's face had even turned purple almost running out of oxygen. Slowly the wriggling hands limp and eventually droop down.
